The multi-enzyme complex catalyze three reactions that constitute a cycle, which is an essential source of acetyl-CoA. Pyruvate dehydrogenase E1 and dihydrolipoyllysine-residue acetyltransferase catalyzes pyruvic acid to acetyl-CoA and CO2. Acetyl-CoA is required for the TCA cycle. Lipoamide dehydrogenase reduces NAD+ to NADH.
